Iconic
CAMBRIDGE

As the home of the University of Cambridge,
the city is widely known as a hallowed seat of
learning. Perhaps it’s this academic environment,
or the fact that cycling is the preferred mode of
transport, but the place is certainly imbued with a
genteel air. Characterised by historic architecture,
pedestrianised streets, open-air markets,
picturesque green spaces and lazy riverside
pastimes, Cambridge is truly a beautiful city in
which to live and work.

STYLISH
CAMBRIDGE

You don’t have to look far to find a
Cambridge that’s cosmopolitan and creative.
If shopping is your craving, the historic
centre is a delicious huddle of independent
retailers and artisan makers. And don’t
forget the Market Square for daily, fresh local
produce or the inspiring collections of 20thcentury
art at Kettle’s Yard. If you’re looking
for big name brands, then head to the Grand
Arcade and discover the likes of John Lewis,
Apple, The White Company, Ted Baker and
Links of London.

APPETISING
CAMBRIDGE

If the number of restaurants is a measure of
Cambridge folk’s passion for food, they must
be in love. From simple fare to fine dining, from
chefs championing local produce to exotic
international cuisines, there’s good food to
suit every taste and mood. There are even two
establishments holding Michelin Stars. But
let’s not forget the many coffee shops, cafés,
tea rooms, patisseries, crêperies, bakers and
delicatessens. Cambridge also has a passion for
the outdoors which means you’ll find diners on
rooftops, pavements, and of course, by the river.
Look further afield, as far as the surrounding
villages, and you’re likely to unearth some of the
finest eateries in the region. Those looking for
the freshest local produce will find the best at
the Gag Magog Farm Shop, which is just down
the road from Ninewells. This delightful local
institution features a charming café and is home
to The Shack, serving up some of Cambridge’s
best street food and live music.

INNOVATIVE
CAMBRIDGE

Cambridge, today, is a hotbed of innovation. It’s a
phenomenon that’s developed organically, but now the
city and surrounding area, dubbed Silicon Fen, is home
to an established cluster of science and technologybased
businesses. Focusing on software, electronics,
pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, the area is one of the
most important technology centres in Europe. Companies
like Apple, Amazon, Arm, AstraZeneca, Google, Microsoft,
Toshiba and Spotify have all set up camp here. Of course, as
a world leader in pioneering research and providing a ready
source of graduates, the university is at the heart of it all.

EDUCATED
CAMBRIDGE

The city is known globally as the home of the University
of Cambridge, an iconic institution, founded in 1209 and
regarded as one of the top universities in the world.
Cambridge’s other seat of further education is Anglia
Ruskin University. Together, the two campuses are
responsible for broadening the minds of around 30,000
students. But the academic excellence doesn’t rest there.
From primary schools to further education colleges,
Cambridgeshire boasts numerous acclaimed learning
establishments for its younger students too.

CONNECTED
CAMBRIDGE

Conveniently positioned, Ninewells is within easy reach of the
area’s best schools, as well as its leisure, recreation and healthcare
facilities. Access to such amenities is essential to create a
flourishing, sustainable community, and crucial to this access is
good connectivity. Happily, Cambridge boasts a brilliant public
transport system, with a comprehensive bus service. There is a
number of routes serving Ninewells, with the nearest bus stops
around 200 metres away (about a five-minute walk). From these,
you can pick up various frequent services that run to the centre,
the train station and outlying areas.

Famously, cycling is a favourite mode of transport in Cambridge.
Ninewells’ own cycle paths will connect to a comprehensive system
of off-road cycle routes and cycle lanes that link the development
to the city and wider cycle network.

The city also has excellent road access via the M11 and A14, and
it’s well-served by rail connections. From Ninewells, it’s just a few
minutes’ drive to Cambridge station, and regular trains run nonstop
to London King’s Cross, with a journey time of around an hour.

Other direct rail destinations include Liverpool Street, Norwich,
Birmingham, Peterborough, Ipswich, and Stansted Airport.
Cambridge North, due to open in 2018, will have direct services to
Brighton and Gatwick Airport via London St. Pancras.
